Maacah

[Mamyalynne]

5 Maacah - Ham , back round a AC ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maacah

[dave1948]

Any thoughts on Malcah for 2a

[Mamyalynne]

Ham, back round A + CA (about)

[dave1948]

Thank you both Maacah then not Malcah

[Mamyalynne]

Can't fit an 'L' into the parse.

[dave1948]

Thank you Mamyalynne I like Maacah and Malcah was simply me using a wordfinder but your answer is obviously correct

[Calibax]

I see the wordplay but where's the definition for Maacah?

[dave1948]

Descendant of Noah ?

[Mamyalynne]

Good point Calibax.

[Calibax]

Ham is the descendant of Noah. Although technically as Noah & 3 sons + wives were the only survivors of the flood, everybody is a descendant of Noah

[Mamyalynne]

Maacah father of Shephatiah is said to be an 'office man'?

[Mamyalynne]

Not clear , sorry.

[dave1948]

Thank you all. I think Maacah is the answer !
